<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)
- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year

A, B and C working together will finish same piece of work in 10 days
A can do a piece of work in 20 days. That is A is doing the work at a rate of 1 / 20. Therefore
B = 1 / 30
C = 1 / 60
A, B and C working togehter their rate will be added together =
A + B + C = 1 / 20 + 1 / 30 + 1 / 60 = 1 / 10
so they can work together to finish same piece of work in 10 days
